Tniehedge 
Columnberry 
U. S. Plant Patent No. 110 
A sensational form of Berberis Thunbergii that you 
will want, either as an individual shrub alongside the 
porch, as a group of several in your front lawn, or that 
>-t)U will want as a hedge! 
In eith.er case, Truehedge Columnberry grows so per¬ 
fectly upright and so beautifully pyramidal in shape, that 
iniieh less time is needed to acquire a hedge three feet 
high, or an individual plant, than was formerly the case. 
Note its shapely upright growth, in the illustration. If 
you need a row of shrubs along a driveway, along a walk, 
along your boundary line, or to replace a fence or if you 
want to replace your present hedge, plant Truehedge Col¬ 
umnberry! Set the plants 15 inches apart. 
WE GUARANTEE that it will create a hedge, no mat¬ 
ter what height is desired, quicker than Japanese Bar¬ 
berry twice as large! No matter what size Columnberry 
you order, you have an immediate row of hedge plants, 
because of its upright growth. It is perfectly hardy, 
withstanding 30 degrees below zero. 
Truehedge Columnberry has won¬ 
derfully dense and heavy foliage, with 
glossy, healthy leaves a deep shade 
of green. The foliage is ilistributed 
evenly and densely starting right at 
the ground.

ating a beautiful effect. The berries 
persist on the plant until far into win¬ 
ter.
